Had a few hours in the garage today, and so got some more done on the car.
Relieved the NB front arms as they often foul on the coilover sleeve when using the Bauer extended lower ball joints:

Can see the difference here:

Then added a double shear tab to the swaybar mount. NBs only came with a single shear mount, compared to the NA double shear. I just dont like single shear.

Dug out a fuel filter from the box of bits, its a little large for where the stock one goes but should be ok with some different 6AN fittings:

Started tacking up the IC piping out of a generic pipe and silicone kit i got for $50 minus a couple of bends:

Pretty simple and should work well.

Then ran out of gas… 🙁
Turned my attention to ricing up the car some, and these scratches that have been on the boot since i bought it:

While clearly the easiest thing to do would be some cut and polish, i figured a ducktail might be more fun:

Swapped it for some other bits and gave it a clean up before going on
Finally, on the race car i got sick of digging around under the dash to find the USB port on the ECU, and also rigging up a cigarette lighter to the battery for laptop power. So I designed a basic bracket in Fusion, and set it printing for the afternoon. Came out rather well:

Might just swap it to the left side of the glovebox.
Thats about it for now, need to get fittings for the fuel filter, and pull the hardtop off and cage out so I can fit it and the new fuel pump. Waiting on expandable braid sleeving for the wiring harness and then I can get started on wiring it up. Have a few parcels in the post for engine bay fuel line fittings and some silicone bends, so whenever the various postal and courier services get them to me I can start on the rest of the engine bay stuff.
